Probabilities of selecting category matches for younger 2-year-olds in each of the five conditions presented across Studies 1 and 2 from Rhodes et al., in press [²⁴]. Error bars represent 95% confidence intervals. Two-year-olds reliably learned the new way of categorizing people only when the exemplars presented during the learning phase were introduced with generic language.
